| Popis: | Since its recognition in the 1980s, many different terms and definitions have been used for weakness in critically ill patients [1]. In 2009, a consensus meeting was held to delineate terminology and provide definitions that could be used by clinicians and researchers [2]. Since then, intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness has been used as an umbrella term to describe the clinical picture of weakness that develops in the setting of critical illness [2]. Using additional investigations, ICU-acquired weakness can be further differentiated into critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), critical illness myopathy (CIM) or critical illness neuromyopathy (CINM) [2]. |
